Your Congratulations

Alanis Morissette

Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie

I wouldn't have compromised as much
So much of myself for fear of having you hating me
And I would've sung so loudly, it would've cracked myself
And I became self-conscious of anything exuberant

I wouldn't have sold myself short
I wouldn't have kept my eyes glued to the ground
If I hadn've known my invisibility
Would not make a difference

I would've run around
Screaming proudly at the top of my voice
Aaaaaaah...
Aaaaaaah...
Aaaaaaah...
Aaaaaaah...

I wouldn't have said it was in fact luck
I'm talking idealism here
I would not have been so self deprecating
And I wouldn't have cowered for fear of having my eyes scrached out

I wouldn't have cut my comfort off
I wouldn't have feigned needlessness
And I would not have discredited
Every one of their compliments

It was your approval I wanted
Your congratulations
Aaaaah...
Aaaaah...
